Hello Richard,
Out of interest, have you considered investigating doing all the midi and audio stuff with jack2 on windows?
I only mention it because a number of months ago I compiled rosegarden on windows using cygwin - i.e. I cheated and did more or less a regular linux compilation in the cygwin terminal after getting most of the dependencies from the cygwin ports project I think it was. I also compiled it against the windows version of jack2 which has a compatible c interface to its predecessor so the compilation was generally not an issue. It ran and the notation editor worked fine.
Of course I had no midi and no audio (i had no timing) but it struck me that in principle it might be possible to do all the audio and midi using jack on linux windows and mac, and hiding the alsa dependence on linux to boot.
I mention all this for information only - I have no idea whether using jack for midi is a good or terrible idea or is even possible in rosegarden! I had some fun mucking around with the midi and audio example programs in the new multi-platform jack offering anyway.
Best of luck with your efforts!
Ian.

Yes. Although I'm trying to fix that by using Rtmidi. If I can get that working then there will be an attempt to get portaudio working alongside that. I'm currently refreshing my memory of the sound drivers but have some sort of plan at least. It's all an "if" but it's not beyond the realms of possibility.
Playing with the windows system timer at the moment. It appears to have all the resolution we need to do MIDI timing (we have to do our own) but does anyone have any better suggestions? Will QTimer do high resolution?

You don't, that's why it's "silent and non-sequencing."
